ChatGPT reached its first million users in 5 days.
That was a record—until it wasn’t.
An Indian meditation app called “Miracle of Mind” just crushed that milestone, hitting one million users in just 15 hours (source).
What makes this app different?
It’s created by Sadhguru, a well-known guru, and promises meditation benefits in only 7 minutes a day.
The numbers are impressive, but numbers can lie.
Is this app actually good, or is it just well-marketed?
I decided to test it myself to find out if “Miracle of Mind” can deliver on its promise to transform your life with such a small time investment.
Key Takeaways
Miracle of Mind offers one 7-minute meditation instead of overwhelming you with choices. This solves the biggest problem with meditation apps: decision paralysis.
The technique works: focus between your eyebrows while thinking specific phrases during breath cycles.
I was skeptical but found it effective.
Setup takes 30 seconds with no permission hunting. You’re meditating almost immediately after the download.
It includes “Wisdom” content in bite-sized segments and an AI that retrieves actual Sadhguru quotes instead of generating content.
Currently free on both Android and iOS.
What is Miracle of Mind?
Miracle of Mind is a free meditation app created by Sadhguru that promises to transform your day with just 7 minutes of practice.
Miracle of Mind, according to Sadhguru, emerged from a specific concern.
On February 26, 2025, Sadhguru posted a 5-minute YouTube video highlighting the global mental health crisis.
He shared statistics showing rising rates of anxiety and depression across countries.
His diagnosis was simple: “Essentially, your intelligence is turned against you.”
Most meditation apps overwhelm you with choices. Ten different techniques. Twenty categories. Dozens of instructors. By the time you decide what to try, your meditation window is gone.
Miracle of Mind gives you one thing: 7-minute guided sessions.
That’s it.
It includes some gamification elements, but the core experience remains uncluttered. No paralysis by analysis. No feature bloat.
You can get it on both Android and iPhone. It is completely free, as of writing this.
What I Like About Miracle of Mind
- Solves choice paralysis by offering just one technique. Most apps fail by giving you 30.
- The setup takes 30 seconds. No permission hunting or unskippable tutorials.
- The 7-minute meditation works. I was genuinely surprised.
- Bite-sized wisdom content (90 seconds) removes the “I don’t have time” excuse.
- Their AI feature isn’t generative nonsense, it retrieves actual Sadhguru statements.
Where I Wish Miracle of Mind Did Better
- Only Sadhguru’s voice. Some prefer softer tones for meditation.
- The coming rewards system worries me. Meditating for Samsung discounts misses the point.
- No session length adjustment. Seven minutes work, but options wouldn’t hurt.
- The future business model remains unclear. Free apps eventually need revenue.
- Wisdom content doesn’t directly connect to the meditation technique.
Getting Started
Installation takes about 30 seconds. You can download it from the app store or Google Play. Here’s the official app website link to get started.
After installation and initial onboarding, you’ll see the “I’m Ready” screen. It’s refreshingly straightforward.
Two more taps and you’re at the homepage. No endless permission requests. No tutorial you can’t skip.
This homepage is the command center for your 7-minute practice. I appreciate how they’ve eliminated decision fatigue from the start.
Most meditation apps lose users in the first minute by overwhelming them with options.
Miracle of Mind Features
There’s not a lot of ground to cover here.
As discussed earlier, Miracle of Mind seems to be consciously designed in such a way that it focuses more on eliminating/negating complexity rather than adding more features.
That said, there are some things to talk about, followed by my own experience attending to one 7-minute guided meditation session.
Ease Of Use
Most apps solve problems by adding features. Miracle of Mind solves problems by removing them.
The first thing you notice is what’s not there. No endless menus. No 30 meditation styles. No decision paralysis.
I’ve tried Calm, Headspace, and others. They’re good apps, but they make you think too much before you can actually meditate.
Miracle of Mind is different. When you open it, you see a peaceful cosmos animation and a single button that says “Let’s BOOM!” That’s it. One tap and you’re meditating.
The entire app has just three tabs:
- Meditation: This is a home base. The cosmos animation lives here, along with your 7-minute guided session. One button, one function.
- Wisdom: Here’s where Sadhguru shares personalized insights. Not an endless feed of generic quotes, but targeted wisdom.
- Profile: Your stats and achievements live here, along with basic settings like notifications. The gamification elements are tucked away here rather than constantly nudging you.
The interface feels intentional.
Every unnecessary element has been questioned and usually removed.
Guided Meditation
I tried a 7-minute guided session on Miracle of Mind.
When you start, the cosmos animation expands and pulls you toward the black hole at its center.
Good start.
The first 2 minutes are called “Beginner’s Guide to Meditation.” Here, Sadhguru explains the basics.
After those two minutes, Sadhguru’s voice shifts slightly, but it’s still him guiding you. He quickly explains what we’re about to do.
I was surprised by how simple yet effective the technique is.
The process is straightforward:
You sit with eyes closed, face slightly upturned, and gently focus between your eyebrows.
When inhaling, you think “I am not my body” throughout the breath. When exhaling, you think, “I am not even my mind” for the entire exhale.
That’s it.
You continue for 7 minutes. A gentle chime signals when time’s up, though you can keep going if you want.
My take: As a beginner to meditation, I found this approach refreshingly simple. Easy to follow and maintain.
When I finished, my mind was empty. Just a peaceful blankness. I actually looked forward to doing it again.
This differs from other meditation apps I’ve tried. Many bombard you with precise instructions that feel rigid and mechanical. Miracle of Mind doesn’t do that.
Meditation shouldn’t be about following “the one correct method.” That approach misses the point entirely.
Overall, great experience.
One small criticism: Sadhguru’s deep voice occasionally distracted me. I personally prefer softer, more feminine voices for guided meditation. Having voice options would be nice, but since the app just launched, this feels like a minor issue.
Wisdom
The Wisdom tab is where you learn directly from Sadhguru himself.
What makes it special is personalization. You choose what matters to you.
When you first enter, you select your interests:
Mental well-being, Yoga and meditation, Career and purpose, and so on.
After selection, the app generates content matched to those interests within minutes.
This section has become my favorite part of the app, second only to the core 7-minute meditation.
The Wisdom section contains what I call “audio shorts” — think YouTube Shorts, but for spiritual insights. They range from quick snippets to deeper dives.
Currently, there are four categories based on my personalization:
- Mystic Minis (90 seconds)
- Mystic Breeze (2-5 minutes)
- Mystic Music (3-7 minutes)
- Mystic Knowing (5-20 minutes)
The audio quality is remarkable. The combination of Sadhguru’s voice and the background music creates something you’ll genuinely want to return to—not just for information, but for the calming effect itself.
These bite-sized wisdom packets solve a problem I’ve had with spiritual content: finding the time to consume it.
When something takes 90 seconds, there’s no excuse not to listen.
Ask Sadhguru With AI
The Wisdom section contains one more interesting feature: “Ask Sadhguru.”
This isn’t just another chatbot. It’s an AI trained on 30 years of Sadhguru’s teachings.
What makes this different from typical AI implementations is its scope. Instead of generating new content, it retrieves actual statements Sadhguru has made about your specific question.
It gives you sample questions to start with, but you can ask anything.
Response time is fast—typically just a few seconds, depending on your question’s complexity.
The coolest part?
You don’t just get a text. You can listen to the answer in Sadhguru’s actual voice. Not an AI approximation, but recordings of him addressing similar questions.
You can also copy responses or save them within the app for later reference.
This feature solves a real problem:
Finding Sadhguru’s perspective on specific questions without hunting through hundreds of videos or transcripts. It’s remarkably useful if you’re trying to apply his teachings to particular situations in your life.
Rewards: Coming Soon
They’re adding a rewards system. Meditate daily, earn coins, and trade them for stuff from real companies.
The list of participating brands is impressive:
Samsung, GAP, Ola, Lenovo, Amazon Prime, The Body Shop, Shoppers Stop, Uber Eats, M&S, Practo, Forest Essentials, Clarks, Adobe, Cadbury, Swarovski, Udemy.
Over 200 in total.
I’m curious how this will affect user motivation. External rewards can drive initial behavior, but sometimes they backfire long-term.
The best meditation happens when you’re not thinking about getting something out of it.
That said, if rewards get people to establish the habit, maybe that’s enough. The practice itself eventually becomes the reward.
It’s noteworthy that companies are willing to partner on this. Mental wellness isn’t just a personal concern anymore—it’s becoming a cultural priority.
Miracle of Mind Pricing
Miracle of Mind is completely free to use for all Android and iOS users.
This is rare in today’s app ecosystem. Most meditation apps start free, then gradually restrict features until you’re forced into a subscription.
As of writing this, there are no signs of this app being put behind a paywall.
Will it stay free forever?
That depends on their growth strategy. Scaling servers isn’t cheap, and neither is continually creating content.
But for now, the price is hard to beat.
Final Thoughts
I started this review wondering if Miracle of Mind’s viral growth came from celebrity endorsement rather than substance.
But after using it, I’m convinced the simplicity is genuinely valuable.
The 7-minute meditation works.
That’s the bottom line.
In a world where meditation apps compete to offer the most comprehensive library of techniques, Miracle of Mind asks:
What if you only need one?
The real test will be sustainability. Completely free apps eventually need revenue.
How Miracle of Mind navigates this transition will determine whether it remains valuable long-term.
If you’ve tried meditation apps before and found them exhausting, this is worth your time. And if you’ve never tried meditation because it seemed too complicated, even better.
Miracle of Mind might be the first app that gets out of its own way enough to let you actually meditate.
